Select previous/next tab with trackpad gesture

[grigsby]

Hi all, I'm coming from Firefox, where I have it configured to switch tabs (previous/next) by swiping up or down with three fingers on the trackpad. Is such a thing possible in Vivaldi? I see a preference that says "Switch tabs by scrolling" but I can't seem to figure out what it does. Thank you! Scott

Switch tabs by scrolling, means to switch them using the mouse scroll wheel while hovering the tab bar.

So was this every resolved?

This 3 finger swipe works in other browsers not this one. Again this browser not really caring about platform specific functionality.

@GenXstarX "Switch Tabs by Scrolling" works fine for me. Just tested using scroll gestures on a Trackpad and Magic Mouse as well as with the scroll wheel on a generic mouse.

Hi we're not asking what works for you!!

Select Previous Tab, Select Next Tab is supposed to have a 3 finger up/down swipe ANYWHERE in the window, OmniWeb does it, Firefox does it, this is particular for vertical tabs.

If Vivaldi designers actually followed macOS menu conventions, and other OS conventions all these things would be handled by the OS natively instead of having to create convoluted non native solutions.

These two items should be in the 'Window' Menu and thus key command can be added in

System Preferences/Keyboard/Shortcuts/App Shortcuts

The Window menu in Safari is an example of the items that are expected to be in the Menu.

I mean what on earth is Mouse Gestures in preferences all about? Goodness me, mice have NEVER been known or used for gestures, Trackpad have. Any buttons for assigning on mice are done in the drivers not it web browsers.

Honestly, Apple have been doing OS's/UI for nearly 40 years, they know what they are doing. Microsoft do not know what they are doing, that is why they always copied everyone else's ideas failed because they insisted on adding their own idiotic implementations. Then a little tiny browser company comes along and thinks they are doing us users a favour with their own non standard quirky design idea's like No History menu, hiding these things inside a side panel and with some very bizarre unintuitive methods to re-open a closed tab. These functions are all in a History menu, all the work has been done and tested, the browser company just has to look at Safari and make menus with the same functionality and move on to other things instead of wasting time reinventing everything for the sake of it.

It's been long since apparent to me that software designed and made by Germans (since the 90's) has always had some of the most peculiar, strange and unintuitive UI designs, the way they think and approach software just isn't compatible with the actual interaction and use of software. I can see the same pattern is here with the Swedes and Software design.

Mind you, I don't know what the brains at Mozilla were thinking when they designed Firefox, only thought is they had a bunch or old drunken Microsoft designers.

I'm curious. How do you enable the feature and how do you use it?

I launched Firefox, opened three tabs, and did a three-finger vertical swipe; but nothing happened.

BTW - Firefox, i'm using :
Vertical Tabs Reloaded
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-GB/firefox/addon/vertical-tabs-reloaded/?src=search

To remove the Tabs in the Titlebar

go to :
~/Library/Application Support/Firefox/Profiles/YOURPROFILE.default/chrome/

if no chrome directory you need to create it
probably no userContent.css file either so create that in textedit

add the following:
#tabbrowser-tabs {
visibility: collapse;
}

====================================================
maybe need add this too:

#/* Minimize sidebar header to a light blue stripe (except Bookmarks, History, Sync'd Tabs); appears normally on hover /
#sidebar-box:not([sidebarcommand="viewBookmarksSidebar"]):not([sidebarcommand="viewHistorySidebar"]):not([sidebarcommand="viewTabsSidebar"])
#sidebar-header:not(:hover) {
#max-height: 5px !important;
#min-height: 5px !important;
#padding: 0 !important;
#background-color: #323234 !important;
#opacity: 1 !important;
}
#sidebar-box:not([sidebarcommand="viewBookmarksSidebar"]):not([sidebarcommand="viewHistorySidebar"]):not([sidebarcommand="viewTabsSidebar"])
#sidebar-header:not(:hover) #sidebar-switcher-target {
#/ BAD NEWS: display: none !important; */
#opacity: 0 !important;
}
